Psalm 107:23-32
Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep. For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight; they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits’ end. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven. Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
Lord, You in Your mercy, still the waves of the storm of sinfulness caused by my self-will. You bring Shalom to turmoil and joy to remove anxiety. You pour the Oil of Gladness upon my fears and worries; You restore my soul and my cup runneth over. You are, indeed, the Good Shepherd, the Shepherd who watches over His flock.
